Question on SF:
https://serverfault.com/questions/874730/convert-apache-mod-proxy-p-to-nginx-equivalent
My PHP MVC platform CodeIgniter performs routing based on the REQUEST_URI.
In Apache, you cannot change the REQUEST_URI environment variable. So, in
Apache, I made use of the [P]proxy flag. Sending the rewritten URL using
mod_proxy took care of that and it just works. The browser does not
redirect and the information is returned.
How do I do the same in Nginx? Or is there a way to change the REQUEST_URI
without proxy?
The *APACHE DIRECTIVES* take a URL like:
https://www.example.com/_img/h_32/w_36/test.jpg
and converts it to
https://www.example.com/img/i/_img/h_32/w_36/test.jpg.
Then once rewritten, it sends the request using mod_proxy and RewriteCond
makes sure to not call RewriteRule again if the URL has /img/i in it. Thus
avoiding the loop of death.
*APACHE DIRECTIVES*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (h|w|fm|trim|fit|pad|border|or|bg)_
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*)/img/i/
RewriteRule "(.*)\.(jpg|png)$" /index.php/img/i/$1.$2 [P]
*NGINX DIRECTIVES SO FAR*: You can see in *BLOCK 1* the regex to match and
a possible rewrite. Where do I go next?
root /var/www/vhosts/example.com/htdocs;
index index.php index.html;
# *BLOCK 1*
location ~* \/(h|w|fm|trim|fit|pad|border|or|bg)_.*\.(jpg|png)$ {
#rewrite "(.*)\.(jpg|png)$" index.php/img/i$1.$2; #doesn't change
the REQUEST_URI
#do I do proxy pass here?
#How do I avoid the regex matching again?
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$uri?$args;
}
location ~ ^(.+\.php)(.*)$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param CI_ENV production; #CI environment constant
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
